Capodimonte Italy Fine Porcelain Lady Reading Book Figurine Vintage Hand Painted Collectible Decorative Statue
This Capodimonte porcelain figurine was made in Italy and represents a young lady absorbed in her book. The piece reflects the traditional Capodimonte approach to hand-painted detailing and sculptural texture, showing the characteristic blue glaze and delicate surface work associated with mid-to-late 20th-century studio production.
The figurine is crafted in fine porcelain and finished with soft painted tones, creating a subtle matte effect. It measures 21 cm in height with a width and depth of 9.5 cm. The base carries the Capodimonte mark, confirming Italian manufacture. The figure is well balanced and displays clean modelling around the face, hair, and book.
Capodimonte has a long history of figurative porcelain production, beginning in 18th-century Naples and continuing into modern Italian factories. Pieces from this period often emphasise gentle narrative scenes, and reading figures were a recurring motif in several Capodimonte lines.
The condition is very good with no chips, cracks, or repairs observed.
